Local district heating networks are particularly effective in securing communities with affordable heat. The trend towards these solutions was also seen in Thal-Aue, in the east Tyrolean community of Assling. The dependence on fossil fuels and the associated high costs have led to the increasing use of domestic resources for generating heat. As a result, wood scraps from the local sawmill are used today, to produce energy for the local community. This way, the entire town can be supplied with clean, sustainable heat through a well-developed district heating system.
In July 2006, the Theurl sawmill was selected by Elektrowerk Assling as energy supplier for the district network connected to the mill. In order to ensure an efficient and reliable supply, a suitable distribution solution was crucial to satisfy its many, and various end users. Our Flexalen pre-insulated pipe system proved ideal in meeting those requirements.
